I have thought a lot about this way of thinking, too. I don't think it's about enjoying the bad feelings. What WW is saying may be true. I also find that our thoughts are due to our daily conditioning...what environments we are living and experiencing has a huge impact on our thought processes. Year...

Im always searching for some kind of ansewer. How do i get rid of this fear, that fear. Too afraid to go on my own. Doubting whether what im doing is right. Looking for a result. Characteristics of a petty mind. The word "doubt" triggered a memory I have of an excellent book mentioned already here ...

Here's what I've been really meaning to ask....how do I accept a situation where I was the one who screwed up? Point being that you play it over and over in your mind (Ego), but how can I accept that KNOWING that I made mistakes? I'm sorry for the multiple messages. It sounds to me as if you are tr...

Yes, WW, Emmanuel's Books are beautiful words. I read them many years ago and still do from time to time, considering them, in some ways, my "bible". In the past, I have been a skeptic of mediumship and channeling. Emmanual is channeled by Pat Rodegast. Regarding these books, I pretty much came to t...

Why is it difficult for me to share my objects of clothing with my same sex boyfriend? I try to put myself in your shoes. Oops, may I borrow them for a minute? haha... Why not, for the moment, honor yourself and admit that you just do not want to share your clothing? You do not owe an explanation t...

On the other hand I kind of hate it, because it's difficult for me to do, disrupts the normal ways my mind works (which I find pleasurable), and has (thus far) yielded no deeply satisfying payoff. (The one exception is that, sometimes, being aware seems to heighten and expand "what is" in a beautif...

I am surprised you say "now from a different tack". I honestly always felt you were coming from a place of love in all of your posts, the ones I've read anyway, Ashley.... :-) Perhaps at times I sensed an indication of frustration on your part, but never writing to cause anyone harm or discomfort in...

It sounds to me as if you are taking someone else's experience as validation that everyone else, including you, is going to be, or should be, that same experience. This maybe dangerous and eventually, unfulfilling way of going through life. As much as I don't agree with the term "unconditional love"...
